i'll explain
remember in SH3 when GWX was released and all the N00|3s cried about how you set "silent running" and the speed drops to 2 or 3 knots and it goes ahead slow but the destroyers can still hear me wha wha wha?
and then the GWX crew says
"well in real life the chief would have had the option to set the electric motors to 50 RPM ahead to achieve maximum stealth" yadda yadda yadda
recall that?
I'm thinking this is Ubi's version of that little "tweak".
what i think was "lost in translation"...
...is that it was called an "active ability" or "special ability" for lack of a better phrase that the casual gamer would associate with.
call it what you will... i assume this is what the order achieves.
of course until it is released or we get definitive proof from the devs... its pure speculation, but i think it is REASONABLE speculation.
I mean... what else is the chief going to do? run back there and put all the pillows and bedding around the motors?
and how about the "ability" to "push the diesel beyond its factory limits"
field engineers CAN do this in real life.
factory limits are a "manufacturers recommended limitation"
in aircraft engines for example...
there are certain tweaks and field modifications you can do to a light aircraft engine which will add an extra 150 - 200 RPM thereby gaining 10 to 15 extra horsepower. (of course this requires documentation and approval from the FAA but still... possible to do it)
is it too "outer limits / twilight zone ./ sci-fi fantasy" to assume that our diesel mechanic is at least smart enough to perform some similar task in the field and boost engine performance even if it only achieves an extra 2 knots???
seriously?
i certainly think its not THAT outlandish.
perhaps the choice of "special ability" was a poor choice of words.
but you surely follow my logic.
